US senators, feeling much more vulnerable after the (political) death of Tom Daschille, have identified bloggers as a source of concern. So much so that they're trying to get more "hip" and get into the bloggosphere themselves. From Radley Balko:
U.S. News & World Report reported last week that several senior Republican senators — upon hearing that "blogs" had uncovered the Dan Rather scandal, helped to defeat Tom Daschle and pushed for the resignation of CNN executive Eason Jordan — demanded that "blogs" be added to their official Web sites.
Even though, as a Capitol Hill Web consultant told the magazine, most of them hadn't the slightest idea of what a "blog" actually is.
